    inscripted button

    I found this on the farm today and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Unfortunately it didn't come with the back.

    Thanks Robbie, it was actually an easy one to ID. I plan to really enjoy the trip and can't wait to get away from this snow and cold. Looking forward to making some good videos too, but may be tough hunting since it's considered the most heavily hunted area of the world.
